Packages

There are four different types of packages you can download. Choose
the one that is the most appropriate for you. If you accidentally
download a package that is too small or too large, you can always
replace it later.

Typical - The base application, 8 themes and a selection of
popular modules. Enough to satisfy the demands of most Gallery users.

Developer - Same as the full package, except it includes all the
developer tools so that you can work on improving the code.

If you download a package that has modules you don't want, you can
uninstall the extra ones. If you choose a package that's too small,
you can always install more modules later. It's totally safe to
joyride a module for a while then uninstall it so feel free to experiment.

Preinstaller - This is a small application that will download and unpack
Gallery2 for you. If you're on a slow connection or you use FTP, you may find
this tool very useful. Read the preinstaller instructions
for more details.

Upgrades

If you're upgrading from Gallery 2.1.x or older, you should download one of the packages (above) and unpack it on top of your existing version and then open up your Gallery in your web browser. Gallery will prompt you with an interactive web based upgrader which will walk you through the upgrade process.

If you already have Gallery 2.2.x, we provide patches and zip files containing just the changes to make your upgrade process faster and easier. Make sure to use these files only to upgrade from the exact version specified. If your version is not listed (such as a 2.2 Release Candidate) please download one of the packages above and follow upgrade instructions in README.html.

Modules

Gallery features come as separate modules. You can download and
install modules to add more features to your Gallery, or you can
disable features if you don't want to use them. In order to use a
feature, you must install, configure (if necessary) and activate it.
If you don't wish to use a feature, you can deactivate it.
